    Variables such as dobj, iobj, dobjstr, and iobjstr are all set before
    executing a -x verb from the command line.

    I desire to get additional information to such a -x verb, which means the
    huh code cannot be used and for data integrity and execution speed I am
    against trying to store the data into properties and then let every
    executing verb that needs the information to try and figure out where the
    data is stored and to retrive it and to then release the data when finished.

    The easist solution is to bite the benifit of letting this work with -x verbs
    and to use the :huh verbs.

    But the solution that would be best, and I am posting for ideas requires
    a change to the sever itself. I would like to either put the information into
    dobj and iobj from #0:do_command, which would mean overriding the default
    value iobj/dobj take when the matches fail after calling #0:do_command in the
    DB. Or to add two new standard variables which could be set from
    #0:do_command and would remain when the currect -x verb is executed.
    The problem is that I don't know how to add such a property, does anybody
    know how to or could Pavel tell me that its not worth attempting for varies
    server complexity reasons.

    Thankyou,
    Chris.
